Boris gets a reprieve but Phil has to go

Boris is my wife Sally's beloved Land Rover Defender which we intended to sell, in preparation for this we bought a little Corsa Combo van now nicknamed Cyril.  Cyril is a 1700 Diesel Turbo and quite frankly go's like a rocket.
The decision to sell Boris was not popular with Sally however she reluctantly agreed but having spent some hours cleaning and polishing him the reverse smile once again crossed her face as he stood there in all his magnificence.  He did clean up well and i wondered if it might be as well just to sell the Freelander "Phil" instead.
I had done a bit of research on the net and discovered that the Freelanders few more mile per gallon than the Defender is more than taken away when you start to repair or replace bits on it especially the BMW engine i'm told.  Dont get me wrong bits for a defender should be gold plated the price they charge but they are at least "British".
So thats it then Boris gets a reprieve but Phil has to go, here they both are at our logging site in 2009
